Area: Waipiolani Ward, Oahu
Companion: Elder Stulce
Hey hows it going! Things over here are getting pretty dang good. But oohhh
man its been really humid over hear lately. Makes me miss the dry air
back in Utah.
This week was pretty eventful, even though my companion is
kind of a silly guy, I still love him haha. He just confuses words really
bad and its the most entertaining thing in the world when we go tracting. Its
just kinda funny and he makes me smile. We found like 6 new investigators this week! Which is
pretty dang good! We were just making contact with a lot of the former
investigators that the missionaries in the past had taught.
Tomorrow we
are going to the temple so we get to drive all the way to La'ie which
should be fun.
Today we woke up at like 3:45am
and we played murderer in the dark. Mannn that was like the most fun
that I have had in a long time. We were just playing in the church. Its
really scary at night/kinda freaky.
We taught a less active guy this
week named John. We went with our Bishop. We met him last week. We were just walking and he called us over and he lived in the
apartments that we had just visited but he was not on the ward list. He
said that he was trying to figure out a way to get in contact with the
missionaries and that he wanted to become active again. I told him that God put us in his way for a reason and that we would help on his road
back to activity. Bishop Goo came with us to his house. He's a pretty
nice guy and has one unbaptized kid 16 years old. We have been able to work
a lot better with the ward lately. Our ward is a really good ward even
though its one of the smallest wards in the stake.
O ya I went to a
garage sale the other day after we were done doing morning exercise and I was able to bargain myself a fishing pole, its pretty ok too! So hopefully I will get to try it out soon. I surprised myself because I remembered
how to tie all the knots and figure it out and stuff. We also found
like 3 fans on the side of the road and like a couch a couple wheely
chairs. Man its been pretty hot here too. It makes you glad that you
have air conditioning in your house.
I have pretty much had to teach gospel
principles class like every Sunday
since I have been here, but its pretty fun. We got a new ward mission
leader so things should be getting better. We had dinner with the Tunupopo family this last Saturday at Ruby Tuesdays. I havent
eaten there in a long time so that was nice.
I got a hair cut --- my hair was
starting to get too long. One of the Samoan members in our ward gave me a
hair cut. His name is Johnson and he's 18 -- straight from American Samoa.
He's a pretty cool guy.
Well I'm getting kinda tired of typing on this
key board and my arthritis is kicking in so I think that I'll just call
it a day. ....haha
Love Elder Shoemaker
